Rukunjiri district Chief Administrative Officer Elias Byamungu has ordered the Southern division leadership to hand over the Rukunjiri Stadium’s keys. He ordered them to give the keys to the town clerk over what he termed as mismanagement of the facility.
The directive follows a public outcry that the division leaders were stopping them from accessing the stadium with their vehicles during events.
According to Byamungu, the division leaders ashamed the public after failing to open the gates when Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja landed there. She went there to attend the BAAF function at the Immaculate Heart Girls School Nyakibale.
Another incident happened on December 12 when they blocked football fans from accessing the stadium. This happened when the Rukunjiri United FC hosted Kigezi Homeboy’s FC which according to Byamungu is null and void.
Byamungu trashed the division leadership for acting independently from the district stressing that this will let down the area development.
The CAO pointed out that he is going to deal with any leaders who don’t respect directives from Rukunjiri district leaders.
He now wants both political and administrative leaders to work hand in hand to boost young people’s talents. This will enable them to benefit from them rather than denying them access to such recreation centres.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
